So very sorry this all had to happen.
It may not seem so to you right now but it was a blessing that you were able to be there for your Mom and have the courage and strength to act compassionately and as your Mom would have wanted you to.
Here is a poem that has helped me thru times like these. Peace and prayers to you and your family.
DO NOT STAND AT MY
GRAVE AND WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the song that will never end.
I am the love of family and friend.
I am the child who has come to rest
In the arms of the God
who knows her best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

God bless you and yours,you are not alone.So many of us here myself included have lost close friends and family.Each passing day will ease the loss but in the mean time I will pray for you.(((Hugs))) GKK/Sue
I am sorry to read this news. You and your family are in my prayers. May the good memories carry you through this difficult time.
Take solace in the knowledge that while this is a tragedy for you and your family, it's anything but a tragedy for your mother. There are better things waiting.
I'll pray for you and your family, and for your mother.

prayers sent and a reminder posted on my calendar to take a few days off and drive to colorado to see my mom.
I'm so very sorry bulldog, a good parent is irreplaceable -- I'm spending a lot of time lately imagining myself at the same place as you are today, and I'm afraid it'll be soon......nice poem, Su
Bulldog,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine how tough a time this must be for you. (HUGS)
I have had the worst year ever, but wanted to say that sometimes what other people go through put things into perspective about what is really important in life. Thanks for sharing.

Im so sorry to hear of your loss . It is nothing that any one ever wants to happen, I pray that God may bring you joy , peace and most of all comfort in your deepest time of need. (hugs)
I'm so sorry for your loss, Bulldog. I will keep you and yours in my prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Bulldog you're not alone! You have all of these wonderful people praying for you and your family. The pain can be unbearable, but know you will get through it. God Bless!
Bulldog44 I am so very sorry for your loss and of course your Mom will be included in prayers. I know words can never be enough but thoughts, prayers and waves of friendship are being sent your way. Hugs to you and your family.
I am so sorry, bulldog. I know that nothing spoken (or written) can change things, but my heart goes out to you and your family. *HUGS*
Bulldog, I am sorry that you and your family are going through such a hard time right now. Death is never easy to deal with, and it never makes any sense. it never has a rhyme or a reason, and that makes it very hard to grasp.
I want to share with you a poem that always brings me much comfort when I find myself grieving. I hope it does the same for you --
I want to share with you a poem that always brings me much comfort when I find myself grieving. I hope it does the same for you --
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
